The evolution of medication delivery via drones: revolutionizing healthcare logistics

Abstract

Valued at $245.4 million in 2023, the global medical drone delivery market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.3%, reaching nearly $1.9 billion by 2032 (Chloe Fox, Citation2025). This growth underscores the increasing reliance on drones to improve accessibility, delivery efficiency, and cost-effectiveness - especially in regions where conventional logistics face constraints. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transition, exposing weaknesses in traditional supply chains and heightening the demand for contactless, resilient solutions (Perez et al., Citation2024).
